Love is not something we feel or do, it is to drift with something that already flows through us. We do not decide to “be loving”; rather, to love is to allow our deepest and truest nature to simply be.
The love in us—which is the Spirit in us—always somehow says yes (2 Corinthians 1:19-20). Love is not something we do; love is Someone we are. It is our True Self. Love is where we came from and love is where we’re going. It’s not something we can attain. It’s not something we can work up to, as much as something we allow our self to fall into! It is the living presence of God within us, the Holy Spirit.
We cannot make God love us more than God already loves us right now. We cannot make God love us any less, either. We could do the most terrible thing and God would not love us any less. We cannot diminish God’s love for us. What we can do, however, is learn how to believe it, receive it, trust it, allow it, and celebrate it. The flow of God’s love is constant and total toward our life and us.
The very nature of God is to seek out the deepest possible communion with every creature on this earth. The only things that can keep us out of this divine dance are fear, doubt, or self-hatred. Moreover, the only thing we could and must do is to accept being fully accepted.
2 Corinthians 1:20 “For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding “Yes!” And through Christ, our “Amen” (which means “Yes”) ascends to God for his glory.”
